They don't use scaled down versions of the images to display them in their gallery, they just hotlink and let browsers resize the originals which are up to 5MB a piece. And there are 30+ images on each page

So don't be surprised if your browser takes a bit to download the 30-150 MB per gallery page./if this were to go to the main page instead of FarkUs, they'll have to cancel next year's contest to pay this year's AmazonAWS bill

Some of the others were so bad they almost made me laugh. Almost.I suppose the same as everyone is a photographer now, everyone is an artist.Subbette's piece wasn't funny. It was quite good. As a result I stopped laughing and considered voting.Then I remembered that it doesn't matter who you vote for, the government always gets in.So I didn't.

Dude, Dali is my favourite and I had "Les Elephants" hanging on my wall for years.Definitely voted you 5 stars just for execution of the elephants. Well done.Though I do agree with some of the others that some of the other entries on the page look amateur.

Looks like Star Wars shot in Bolywood. Not being an art critic I would highly recommend this be auctioned at Christies for an exorbitant sum of money. You may thank me by adding a photo of yourself ( indecently clad ) to your profile. Another five votes to be added tomorrow after your profile change.

stonelotus:if you're going to vote fro someone who bites another artist's work vote for "Calvin and Hobbes rolling in the cypress wheat field"

FTA: Participants were given identical building materials and the challenge of creating a work of art around the theme "Re-Invent a Work of Art" using only the materials provided in their kits. Entries are judged on creative use of the materials, use of the theme, and general craftsmanship and presentation.

When I was in art school, the only recurring element we discussed from Dali were his elephants. Many feminist writers believed that they stood for a domination over the female of the species. A very intelligent (and very pro-feminist) instructor pointed out to me that the spindly legs of the elephants represented the patriarchal, yet unstable tenets of the male-dominated hierarchy.

So... I'm not one of those folks that points out the feminist imagery in everything, but thank you, Mrs. Ellen Diem. You showed me that you could point out those symbologies in art without going on some feminist diatribe. Each sex has its opportunity to show the world how important it is without diminishing the importance of the other.

Sex is a crucial part of our function as humans... if you think that is untrue, you are doing a disservice to those you pursue sexually. Your sexual "conquests" are not truly validated if you do not consider your "conquests" equals.

Long story short.... as an engineer... 5 stars. Artistically and in an engineering context. The skill it took to get the skinny-legged elephants to stand under their own power is impressive.

/I hope this old man was able to impart a lesson on how older people think about the interaction between the sexes.
